ABOUT DON Scott carpenter
Don Scott Carpenter is a San Francisco–based conductor, composer, educator, and arts leader whose work spans orchestral, choral, sacred, professional, and community music.
His career is grounded in a simple idea: music matters most when it creates connection—between performers and audiences, tradition and the present, and individual voices within a larger artistic community.
Through conducting, composition, teaching, coaching, recording, touring, and creative projects, he brings together artistic rigor, curiosity, and a deeply human approach to music-making.
